D. Mass. Refuses to Enjoin Accessibility at Copley T Stop

In a decision issued on December 28, but just now on Westlaw, Judge Tauro of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts refused to issue a preliminary injunction against the project to make the Copley T stop accessible. A neighborhood preservation association had sued and alleged that the accessibility plan would harm aspects of historic significance in the Copley Square area. Good for Judge Tauro. The case is Neighborhood Ass'n of the Back Bay, Inc. v. Federal Transit Admin., 2005 WL 3588421 (D.Mass., Dec. 28, 2005).
